One of the best trips I ever did
This was a FABULOUS trip! Our three crew members were wonderful, very knowledgable, kind, incredibly responsive, and the food was outstanding. The accomodations were comfortable and the scenery spectacular. What really made this trip so excellent was the community that developed so rapidly among the passengers. We had bird and plant experts who readily shared their knowledge (and binoculars) and lots of fun and laughter throughout the week.

Unforgettable, discovery of the islands of South West Scotland
This was our first boat trip experience in Scotland and we highly recommend it.We particularly enjoyed the uninhabited islands, such as Staffa, Lunga, but also the strange island of Rum with its abandoned castle
Recommended for
The friendly welcome of the 3 crew members. Excellent management of the trip and island tours with a lot of freedom to live the experience as we wished. We felt good on the boat and completely safe.
